Abandoned XXL Wife: My Second Husband Is A Tycoon Chapter 13
A while later, Charlie came running into my bedroom.
He slowly picked up his pillow and started walking out.
“Charlie?”
I looked at him.
“You’re not sleeping with me tonight?”
Charlie clenched his tiny fists and stomped his foot.
“Daddy said, ‘Sometimes you have to make a small sacrifice to win the bigger battle.'”
“So I’m trusting him this once!”
I stared after him, completely confused.
After I showered, I sat against the headboard and read for a while.
Then someone knocked on my door.
“Sophie, can I come in?”
I opened it.
Ethan stood there in black silk pajamas.
He looked ridiculously handsome.
The collar was open by two buttons, revealing his smooth, defined collarbones.
Under the bedroom light, they were almost impossible to ignore.
I quickly lowered my eyes.
Ethan smiled and raised the wineglass in his hand.
“Want a drink?”
I was still a little nervous at first.
But after a few sips of wine, my body relaxed.
I started telling Ethan about my college days.
I told him about my dream of becoming a designer.
I told him about my ideas for a mother-and-baby brand.
Ethan listened quietly, the corners of his lips slightly curved.
“Sophie.”
“I’ll help you make your dream come true.”
“Thank you, Ethan.”
I meant it.
Then I looked at his open collar.
“And you know, you really shouldn’t dress like that at night.”
“It’s dangerous.”
“Men need to protect themselves too.”
I reached out, intending to button his shirt for him.
But my foot slipped.
I lost my balance and fell straight into his arms.
My lips landed against his collarbone.
Ethan let out a low groan.
His voice was deep and dangerously smooth.
“Like it?”
“I…”
My face burned.
I couldn’t even lift my head.
Ethan raised his hand and deliberately opened his collar a little wider.
“If you like it, you can keep looking.”
“Ethan… you’re like some kind of male seductress.”
I muttered it under my breath.
His smile deepened.
He slowly lowered his head.
“You don’t have to seduce me.”
“So I guess I’ll have to seduce you instead, Sophie.”
Before I could react, his lips gently covered mine.
He kissed me.
Slowly.
I never expected a CEO like him, a father with a grown son, to have absolutely no idea how to kiss.
His lips clumsily caught mine.
Then he bit me hard enough to make me wince.
I had no idea how long we stayed like that.
Finally, I pulled back.
“Ethan… I think my lips are swollen.”
Ethan was breathing hard.
“Sorry.”
“I’ll improve my technique as quickly as possible.”
“I promise I’ll do better next time.”
Before things could go any further, Ethan finally stopped himself.
I rested against his chest.
His heartbeat was pounding beneath my ear.
